Frequently asked questions:
How do I get to Pushkar?
Kishangarh Airport has recently opened and is a short 40km car ride through to the venue however flights are infrequent, The most popular option is to fly into Jaipur international airport and get a car transport to the venue in Pushkar. I am happy to help help arrange a car transfer for you, you will be provided with the drivers license number, mobile number and photo before collection and they will wait for you at the airport with a sign with your name.
Whether you are flying into Kishangarh or Jaipur airport (a beautiful 3 hr drive to Pushkar) a car transfer can be arranged for your arrival (not included in retreat price). Alternatively if you make your own way to venue from a previous hotel the hotel can help arrange transfer or the airport in Jaipur has a taxi stand that you can book on arrival or our tried and tested online car transfer websites are www.makemytrip.com/cabs and www.gozocabs.com.
